The Angsty Pod
For more than 2 decades, I have written in a diary almost every single day. And guess what? I saved them ALL. Each week, I will be reading from these archives and getting to know myself from the lens of my 10, 16, 25, and 36-year-old self. We'll explore big topics such as body image, queerness, divorce, addiction, mental health, and friendship. I'll read cringy poems and attempt to find compassion for the painful tenderness of my younger self. Join the drama of me and my guests as we explore our boy-crazy, closeted, angsty selves... one stupid page at a time.
The Angsty Pod
Episode 4 with Maria Mosca
"I don't know how to love myself when I'm sad..."
When I set out to launch a podcast, my main goal was to have a space to sit and talk to my writer friends about not just words, but grief and mental health and psychology and healing. This episode is my wish embodied! 27-year-old me got to hang out with 27-year-old Maria Mosca and tea was spilled!!!
So grab a beverage (or three!) and sit down with me and my pal Maria as she reads four entries from the journal she started in 2014. Listen as we dive into the insanity that is the hospitality industry and as we discuss nervous system regulation, mental health, neurodivergence, poetry, pain, and FOOD.
You can follow Maria on Instagram at @mashka_zaraza - her account is private but she likes new friends :)
